Kelly Vecchio

I strongly believe that a paralegal is an essential part of the legal team. An attorney I worked with for many years suggested that I should be able to read his mind. If paralegals are utilized properly, like they are at Linclon Derr, then a good paralegal will be able to anticipate the attorney’s needs, lessen the attorney’s workload and ultimately save the client money. Now this isn’t the same as mind reading, but I think it comes pretty close.
